With the #6 seed NY Giants victory over Minnesota, the Gmen are now guaranteed to go to Philly for the Divisional playoff round.

Assuming we beat the lowly 8-9 Bucs, and can take care of business avenging our loss at SF in the next round... a NYG victory over Philly would have us HOSTING the NFC Championship with the Gmen coming to Dallas.

Definitely NOT out of the realm of possibility :)

I would give it an 80-85% likelihood
Fix your typo. I'm sure you meant to write 0 - 5% likelihood, but your finger hit the 8 key a couple times by mistake.

I'll throw out some random numbers if Cowboys have a 50% chance to beat the Bucs and a 30% chance to beat the Niners and the Giants have a 30% chance to beat the Eagles that puts out chance at a home NFCCG at 4.5% but hey there's a chance.
The equation\formula you used to come up with that percentage?

The equation\formula you used to come up with that percentage?
The statistical equation to find the probability of three distinct events all happening is to multiply the chance of event 1 x chance of event 2 x chance of event 3. So using the numbers I provided .5*.3*.3= .045 = 4.5%

Since the Cowboys won the chance of a home playoff game in the championship have increased. For instance if we have a 40% chance to upset the Niners and the Giants have a 30% chance to upset the Eagles than our chances of a home playoff game are now .4*.3 =.12 or 12%. If you believe our chances and the Giants chances are better than that then the odds would rise accordingly.

If anyone believes this they can toss 100 down on Dallas and NYG Moneylines (just to win) and if both win you win 899...

not sure I'd call 1 in 9 odds a "great chance" but I like the enthusiasm.

If the Cowboys that showed up for Minnesota shows up, well then we'll see you in NFCCG.
